Part 19: Sun Prince and Ajaxson meet
Talia held her breath, astound at Lukas intensity and boldness. Why would he blurt out like that? Someone could have easily heard him. Apart from that, she's happy that the truth was out in open.
Her betrothed turned towards her, his voice merely a confused murmur. "What is he saying, Talia? Is it true?"
At least Ajaxson hadn't lost his calm. That's something. She sucked a sharp breath before softly smiling at Lukas. "Yes""Oh"That single word hung in the air for several seconds, neither of them saying anything. She kept squirming on the spot, nervously eyeing Ajaxson and Lukas. The Prince was by her side, his hand rubbing her back.
"How long has this been going on?"She felt like being interrogated by Ajaxson all over again. Something she had to go through with her father. Talia didn't mind answering his questions at all.&nbs

Ajaxson hummed softly, leaning against the nearest surface. A thoughtful look crossed his face. She held her breath, waiting for him to say yes so that Talia could continue her relationship with Lukas. If her betrothed rejects her, then Zeus will let her decide something for a change."Okay"The moon princess almost wanted to scream at his answer, but he quickly continued. "But on one condition."A frown took over her features at that. What did he want now? Talia chewed on her lips, hesitant on listening to him. Here she thought that her betrothed would agree, and they could get it over with. Then again, her life had never been easy."What is your condi
Demon Kings Queen (book two) Part 21. Engagement Announcement
Tecmessa, Ajaxsons mother, was the first one to greet them with a bright smile. Her eyes warmly appraised them, and Talia shifted under her feet. She remembered her plan and quickly approached them with faux enthusiasm."Tecmessa," The moon princess started as she rounded the seating area, clearly noticing her parents stare following her. "It's a pleasure to see you again. Thank you for letting us visit.""Oh, dear!" Her future mother in law sighed, shaking her head. "It's our pleasure to host your family."She internally cringed at that. Talia, for one second, wasn't convinced with their act. Everyone behaved in the same manner with Zeus around. They all wanted some favour from God of Lightning.&nbs
Demon Kings Queen (book two) Part 22. A Love Letter
Talia was numb to the celebration of their announcement, her parents cheering and congratulating them. The moon princess had so many hopes that they would postpone the date and eventually be forced to cancel it. She could not see that happening anytime soon with her parent's blatant display of emotions paired with Ajxasons silence.Why did he not say anything? She stopped counting the times the question played in her head in the past hour, eyes set stoically on the table.Some maids rushed to set up the food, smiles on their faces. The array of food ranging from bacon, chicken, black pudding, steaming tea, wine, fruits, cheese, bread and cream were placed on the grand dining table. It was making hers nauseous just staring at them. Her fingers were continuously digging into the skin of her knees as she tried to
Demon Kings Queen (book two) Part 23. One Last time
Talia refused to leave her room, still upset about the conversation she had with Artemis. Also, that package sent by Ajaxson with a letter and set of books staring back at her didn't help at all. In the afternoon, nymphs had a message for her that Hera urgently wanted to meet.Zeus daughter dragged her tired body out of the bed; mouth pressed in a thin line. Hera must have thought of a new way to make her life miserable.Walking to the Queen's quarter of the Castle, Talia couldn't help but twist her lips. Every wall was made from shiny expensive crystal, the mirror effect causing her boots to clink a bit louder. Hera had a particular type of mirrors installed in her room to stare at the events unfolding in the hallways.
Demon Kings Queen (book two) Part 24. Ajaxson’s Message
If Talia had trouble breathing before, it's near impossible now, vision blurry with unshed tears. She didn't know what to do with her body, blindly clawing at the bunched up sheets to gain some level of grounding. The air in the room felt stuffy, impossibly hot and rapidly spreading all over her body, prickling at her skin until she was glistening with sweat. Her pulse sped up, heart hammering against her chest at the heat of their bodies pressed together."Lukas," She tried to press out, but the only sound coming from her mouth was a guttural moan. Her legs were starting to twitch, but the Prince slid his hands up to her hips, holding her still.Talia trailed her hand over to his face, gripping at the material of his toga, pushes at his chest with urgency. Pulli
Demon Kings Queen (book two) Part 25. Heras Condition
At her silence, Lukas nudged along, snapping the moon princess out of her thoughts. She blinked at him. Talia was still trying to process all the information thrown at her, especially Ajaxson sending a message to Lukas."What was the m-message?" She arched her brow, still not making any move on the bed, knuckles digging in to the soft white sheet."He told me that your parents, especially God Zeus, is adamant on this engagement taking place. There's nothing he could have done to stop that. Besides, his parents also chimed in, so he's truly defenceless."Talia held in the scoff, nails painfully piercing her skin, but she barely flinched. Ajaxson had a point, but he promised to stop from letting the matter go far. But he did nothing. Their engagement'

"I wish we could stay here," Lukas murmured, his lips pressed to the shell of her ear. "Do this every day for the rest of our lives."It sounded like it could have become a reality, and Talia wanted to have it—Lukas as her better half. Her heart leapt up into her throat at the mere thought."I love you," Talia croaked, eyes clenched shut.And the moon princess indeed did, so much, more than she's ever loved anybody and seeing it reflected in his eyes as well made her knees wobble.Lukas leaned down and brushes their lips together, kiss as soft as a feather. "I love you, too."&n
Demon Kings Queen (book two) Part 27. Lovely Evening with Ajaxson
The next letter she received from Ajaxson, arrived only a day later, almost as if he knew Lukas had left the Castle. Talia brought the letter to her room and sat down on the edge of her bed to read. Not only that, but a personal message was sent to Zeus as well. For a long time, she wondered what could that be before eventually giving up.She opened the envelope that had arrived without a package, front teeth sunk into her bottom lip. Her thoughts were still running in split ends when it came to Ajaxson, but she didn't possess the energy to go through everything again. The moon princess stared at the letter, reading the first few paragraphs over and over until each word had settled permanently in her mind."What?" She muttered, brows drawn together as a mixture of shock and indignation churned in her gut. Blink
